Progress that

Built for goals
that go deep

Most trackers stop at simple lists. strivu lets you build nested goals with automatic progress roll-up — so large ambitions always feel manageable.

🌲

Nested Tracking

Break any goal into sub-items, and those into sub-items too. Build structured, multi-level plans that match how your work actually fits together.

📊

Automatic Roll-Up

Progress flows upward automatically. Complete a small step and watch it ripple through every parent item to the top.

🗺️

Overview Map

See your entire goal tree at a glance — every nested sub-item and its progress in one scrollable, filterable view.

🎨

Colour-Coded Categories

Group goals into categories like Study, Work, Personal, or Fitness. Multiple goals, zero clutter.

🔒

Private by Default

No account required. All your data lives on your device — and stays there unless you opt into iCloud sync.

🔔

Due Dates & Reminders New

Attach a due date to any item and add a reminder that fires up to a week ahead. Overdue tasks stay visually flagged so deadlines never slip by unnoticed.

📱

iPhone & iPad

A clean full-screen experience on iPhone and an efficient sidebar layout on iPad, with drag-and-drop reordering.

💾

Backup & Restore

Export your data to a portable .strivu file and import it back any time. Move between devices, archive snapshots, or recover after a fresh install.

Built for Accessibility

Full support for Larger Text, VoiceOver, and Voice Control. Follows system Dark Mode, and never relies on colour alone to show status or category.

☁️

iCloud Sync strivu+

Keep your goals in sync across your iPhone and iPad. Your data, your iCloud — never our servers.

Deadlines that
come to you

Any item with a due date can carry a reminder, so strivu nudges you before the deadline instead of after it. Free for everyone — no strivu+ needed.

Your lead time

Fire at the due date, or 10 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, or 1 week before it. Set a default for new items once in Settings, then change it per item whenever it matters.

🔗

Tied to the due date

Reminders are stored relative to the deadline, not as a fixed time. Move the due date and the reminder moves with it — the two can never drift apart.

Done from the lock screen

Expand a reminder and tap Mark Complete without opening the app. Tap the notification itself and strivu opens right on that item, however deep it sits in your tree.

🤫

Quiet once it's done

Finish an item — or let a parent's progress carry it to 100% — and its reminder cancels itself. Nothing fires for work you've already completed.

Reminders are local notifications scheduled by your device. There is no push server, no account, and nothing about your goals leaves your iPhone or iPad.

Up and running

No lengthy onboarding. No complex setup. Just open strivu and start building momentum.

プライバシーについて — 日本語の要約

strivuはデータを収集しません。アカウントもサーバーもなく、トラッキングも広告IDもありません。目標はお使いのデバイスに保存され、strivu+をご利用の場合はご自身のプライベートなiCloudにも保存されます。そのどちらにも当社はアクセスできません。リマインダーはローカル通知です。デバイス自身が予約して通知するため、プッシュサーバーは介在しません。バックアップとテンプレートはご自身で保存するもので、当社に控えが渡ることはありません。

Confidentialité en français — l’essentiel

strivu ne collecte aucune donnée. Aucun compte, aucun serveur, aucun traçage, aucun identifiant publicitaire. Vos objectifs restent sur votre appareil – et, si vous utilisez strivu+, dans votre propre iCloud privé, auquel nous n’avons pas accès. Les rappels sont des notifications locales : votre appareil les planifie et les envoie lui-même, sans aucun serveur push. Vos sauvegardes et vos modèles, c’est vous qui les enregistrez ; nous n’en recevons aucune copie.

Des questions ? hello@strivu.app · Seule la version anglaise de cette politique de confidentialité fait foi.

Datenschutz auf Deutsch — kurz zusammengefasst

strivu erhebt keine Daten. Keine Accounts, keine Server, kein Tracking, keine Werbe-IDs. Deine Ziele bleiben auf deinem Gerät – und, wenn du strivu+ nutzt, in deiner eigenen privaten iCloud, auf die wir keinen Zugriff haben. Erinnerungen sind lokale Mitteilungen: Dein Gerät plant und stellt sie selbst zu, ganz ohne Push-Server. Backups und Vorlagen speicherst du selbst; wir erhalten keine Kopie.

Fragen? hello@strivu.app · Maßgeblich ist die englische Fassung dieser Datenschutzerklärung.

Overview

strivu ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how strivu handles your data. The short version: strivu has no accounts, no sign-up, and no servers that hold your content. Your data lives on your device, and — if you choose — in your own private iCloud.

No Account Required

strivu does not have user accounts. You do not sign up, log in, or provide an email address to use the app. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifying information about you.

Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal data from you. strivu does not include analytics, tracking, advertising identifiers, or third-party SDKs that profile users. The app does not phone home.

Where Your Data Lives

All your categories, items, progress, due dates, and reminder settings are stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device database (SwiftData). We never see this data and have no way to access it.

If you purchase strivu+ and enable iCloud sync, your data is synced through your own private iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit. It is stored in your personal iCloud container — not on our servers. Apple's iCloud encrypts data in transit and at rest. We have no access to your iCloud data at any point.

Reminders and Notifications

Reminders are local notifications. Your device schedules and delivers them itself — there is no push server, no device token, and no remote notification service involved. The text of a reminder (the item's title, its due date, and its description if it has one) is composed on your device and handed to iOS, which holds it until it fires. None of it is transmitted to us or to anyone else.

Notification permission is optional and only requested the first time you turn a reminder on. You can revoke it at any time in the iOS Settings app; strivu keeps your reminder settings so they resume if you turn notifications back on. Because reminders are scheduled per device, they are not synced — a reminder you set on one device may also arrive on another device signed into the same iCloud account with strivu+ sync enabled.

Backups and Templates

strivu lets you export and import two kinds of files: .strivu backups (a full snapshot of your data, including progress, dates, and reminder lead times) and .strivut templates (the structure of a tree of items only — no progress, no dates, no reminders, no category assignments). Both are created and stored by you, through the system share sheet, the Files app, or wherever you choose to save them. We do not receive a copy.

When you save a template, strivu also offers optional fields for an author name and tags. Anything you type into these fields is embedded in the .strivut file itself, so it travels with the template if you share it. Leave them blank if you don't want them included.

In-App Purchases

The optional strivu+ upgrade is a one-time in-app purchase processed entirely by Apple via the App Store. Apple handles payment, receipts, and entitlement validation. We do not see your payment details or Apple ID.

Third-Party Services

  • Apple App Store — for app distribution and in-app purchases.
  • Apple iCloud / CloudKit — only if you are a strivu+ subscriber and have iCloud signed in on your device. Sync uses your own iCloud account and is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

strivu uses no other third-party services. There is no analytics provider, no crash-reporting service, no advertising network.

Children's Privacy

Because strivu does not collect any personal data, it does not collect data from children either. The app is suitable for all ages.

Your Control Over Your Data

You can delete any item, category, or all of your data at any time from within the app. Deleting the app from your device removes its local database. If you have iCloud sync enabled, you can also remove strivu's data from iCloud via the iOS Settings app (Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Account Storage).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Significant changes will also be noted via the app.
